Happy paying user of Chroma Cloud here. Congratulations Jeff, Hammad and team!

We were lucky to get early access and have saved a bundle.

I have 3 for our google cloud account and we spend like 5k a month.

They had an internal CRM. It was buggy, missing key features and engineers didn’t really want to work on it.

If I had jumped through Google's hiring hoops, I wouldn't either. Of course, this could be solved with money.

I think the real reason was there was no path to promotion for working on this. For better or worse the incentives were not aligned for great work to happen.

It is not genuine to say that Notion cannot listen in. Notion can listen in. Anytime it wants. Yes on Macs an indicator will be displayed - but not always prominently depending on what other apps/devices are being used (for example using continuity camera)

Source: I built the same listening infrastructure into other meeting note taking apps. Our team spoke at length about this security issue with Apple.

I work at Notion. We don't ship code that would let us listen in until users explicitly click start recording. We don't want to, we aren't in the business of selling data and this would be incredibly expensive - and destroy trust. We are cash flow positive so we can sustain our values for the long term. We build useful software and get paid by our users for it. It's pretty simple. Agree that operating systems should display prominent indicators when the microphone is in use.

Side note - why isn't E2E encryption a higher priority for Notion?

If you check Reddit and similar forums, it's been raised so many times by users.

Please tell me which meeting note apps use underhanded methods to secretly record my conversations, just so that I can blacklist them company wide.

Are you going to have it be local only?

I think you would be interested in seeing what Flo has done using OHTTP: https://oblivious.network/ohttp

It won't be local-only, it will be local-first. So you won't have to put your data online if you don't want to.

Are you using OHTTP? If there are cloud aspects - I think you would want to. Learn more: https://oblivious.network/ohttp

No, because we don’t have any servers. We don’t track anything about our users, not even logs or usage.

Are you affiliated with OHTTP?

Who did the product design (cad, picking components, etc) for both of these watches? Is this in house? (shout them out!) or did you work with an outside firm, and if so which one?

Is there a YouTube of this?

Thanks for the nudge!

I’d really prefer to see a video before trying, also.

It’s coming! The screenshot on the right of the homepage is a placeholder for the impending video. (It won’t be fancy, but I want to at least give people a sense of what they’re signing up for.)

Thanks for the note and for checking out the page!

ps. Check out https://pocket.computer/dungeons if you just want to try the original ‘D&D meets Siri’ voice stack. It doesn’t require a login.

Cool!

What sort of radio do you use?

My friend and I tried to do -- the two of us in different cars driving down the same stretch of highway this with GPRS radios and very quickly we were not able to pick up the other's broadcast. We assumed it was that we didn't have big enough antennas and were not using a repeater.

Note - others were driving we were each a passenger in our respective cars.

Did you have car mounted external antennas? I'm totally new to the hobby so I might be wrong here, but I believe the handheld units are kinda trapped in a Faraday cage if you use them inside the car. If you have the 20W+ mobile (not handheld) kind and mount it to an external antenna though, there should be enough range even just with GMRS as long as you're not on the other side of the mountain or something?

Edit: Sorry, it's GMRS, not GPRS (facepalm)

We were not using car mounted antennas. We will try this next time!

Genuine question - how do you get 1Password to stop re-asking for the typed in password. It is a pain in butt.

Settings->Security->Face ID. Set to "on".

By design, 1Password always makes you re-authenticate every time you lose focus on the app. But Face ID (or Touch ID) makes reauthenticating a lot less painful.

Setting FaceId is the first step, but you can also decide how often you have to reenter your password for reauthentication, or just so you don’t forget it. Directly beneath the face-id option.

Not exactly - you can lose focus without a problem

Recently 1Password has change on IOS (and I assume Android) to ask every two weeks for the password even if you use FaceId/TouchId - it says so on the app. This is probably what the poster was complaining about - I agree it is a nuisance.

For macOs and Windows it asks for the password every time the screen saver or sleep happens.

FYI there's a setting that lets you turn off the two week prompt or update it to 30 days.

Actually on iPhone it allows turn off for all time.
